Abstract

A uninterrupted switching circuit includes a control unit, a first connector, and at least two second connectors. The first connector is configured to be connected to a target device, and the at least two second connectors are respectively configured to be connected to power supply devices. The first connector is connected to the at least two second connectors, respectively, to enable the power supply devices to supply power to the target device through the first connector. The control unit is connected to the first connector and the at least two second connectors, respectively. The control unit is configured to determine whether another power supply device connected to the target device through one of the second connectors is normal, and the control unit is configured to feed back a normal power supply signal to the target device, thereby avoiding an abnormality alarm from being issued by the target device.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A uninterrupted switching circuit comprising:
 a control unit;   a first connector; and   at least two second connectors; wherein:
